Bitter is Better: Amaro 101

  • The Oenophile Institute 1295 W Spring St Smyrna, GA, 30080 United States (map)

Perfect for curious beginners, cocktail lovers, and anyone ready to explore bitterness as a flavor worth loving.

Amaro can feel mysterious at first… dark bottles, unfamiliar names, bold bitterness. But it’s one of the most rewarding categories to explore. In this approachable class, we’ll break down what amaro is, how it’s made, and why it plays such an important role in Italian drinking culture. Through guided tasting, you’ll explore a range of styles, from lighter and citrus-driven to richer, more intense expressions, learning how botanicals, sweetness, and alcohol come into balance. No prior spirits knowledge required; just curiosity and an open palate.
